I can see why it had to come home with you. <br /><br />Rats on wardrobe malfunctions - I'm another blouse-button-flasher as well as a thigh-seam-disintegrator, but usual episodes have more to do with my spectacular klutziness. :) Amber of Butane Anvilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085975055424100573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989330591568158899.post-16443848573944786252012-09-30T20:21:47.467-04:002012-09-30T20:21:47.467-04:00I had a very similar "Thigh-high" incide...I had a very similar "Thigh-high" incident some years back, so I can sympathize with your predicament.

I was wearing a maxi skirt so nobody could tell but I had to take baby steps with the tights around my knees. <br /><br />I found out that if you wear another pair of tights or hose - which I know sucks except in winter - underneath the thigh-highs, the thigh-highs don't fall down. The friction with the underlying fabric keeps them up.

I once tried a pullover sweater on in a secondhand shop, and it was waaaay too small for me, so when I filnally was able to pull it off, it took my tee shirt with it and left me standing in the middle of the shop in my bra. It took me a minute to realize what had append, after which I dove into a rack of clothes and yelled for my sister, who was with me, to come sort it out for me. Aaah, memories. At least you'll never forget your thigh-high incident.

You've got class, Megan, love it! I am constantly embarrassing myself, things popping open, riding up, falling down... I seem to fall over a lot too, or walk into things. All part of my clumsy charm, I like to think.<br />Anyway, the new dress is a beauty, liking the legs being on show, whatever the state of the hose! xxxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989330591568158899.post-37846470765856180422012-09-28T22:09:31.853-04:002012-09-28T22:09:31.853-04:00Ohmy!

You are way braver than me; I always feel like I have crotch-drop in regular pantyhose, so have no faith in thigh highs :p Although I have done those trouser hose knee highs with really long dresses.<br /><br />For me, it's typically coming home to discover a shirt button has come undone, and I've been unknowing flashing the world all day.<br /><br />Very cool dress.The Goodwill Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845712888337339929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989330591568158899.post-34110072765880627102012-09-28T20:21:39.105-04:002012-09-28T20:21:39.105-04:00Pretty dress - I've bought a few Papillon item...Pretty dress - I've bought a few Papillon items in the past. <br /><br />Ha, sorry, I'm not really laughing AT you. :) Really!
